The Salado ISD has three at-large seats on the school board up for election, with five candidates vying for the positions.

Two of the candidates are incumbents seeking re-election - Rodney Bell and Kim Bird.

Bell, 49, has served on the school board since 2008. He is employed as a research project manager for Scott & White Healthcare.

The remaining three candidates are Brian Sunshine, Trey Little and Donny Sequin.

Sunshine, 46, is a national manager with Industry Relations, Nelnet Inc. He is a political newcomer.

Salado ISD is proposing a school bond issue for $11.5 million on May 14.

The bond addresses the needs for multi-purpose athletic facilities and agriculture facilities to accommodate growth and quality to replace inadequate existing facilities.

The total tax increase is 12 cents, which equates to about $102 annually for a home in SISD valued at $100,000 with a $15,000 homestead exemption, and $222 annually for a home valued at $200,000. These figures represent the maximum tax increase the district proposes to complete all projects included in this bond. Depending on continued growth in the tax roll, construction costs, interest rates, and other factors, the tax increase could be less.

Early voting will take place at the Salado Civic Center, 601 N. Main St, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. today and Monday and from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday; and at Salado High School, 1880 Williams Road, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Monday.
